Hagiografía valenciana (1470-1600) by José Luis Canet

“…Cela permet, semble-t-il, d’éclairer bien des aspects de ce genre d’édition dont on peut voir qu’il a joui d’une grande faveur auprès des lecteurs, comme le montre la transposition presque immédiate de beaucoup de ces textes à la littérature, tant au théâtre que dans le roman ou dans la fiction narrative et la poésie.On étudie ici la structure externe des ouvrages appartenant à ce genre (format, couvertures, préliminaires, gravures et épaisseur), ainsi que la langue utilisée.Les œuvres religieuses sorties des presses valenciennes dans la période que nous proposons d’étudier ont été très nombreuses, couvrant presqu’un tiers des livres conservés. …”
